Who Should I Start? KaVontae Turpin or Keandre Lambert-Smith

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin caught two of his three targets for 64 yards while adding a rush for four yards in their 31-14 blowout loss to the Bears. Turpin saw more action in this game after CeeDee Lamb left with an injury. He ran 70% of the routes, which was third on the team behind Jalen Tolbert and George Pickens. Turpin made a tough catch after taking a big hit for an explosive gain down the sideline and has plenty of speed to threaten the defense vertically. Most of his usage last year came as a ball-in-hand guy with screens and underneath passes. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer could opt to incorporate that more with their best YAC threat, Lamb, who will be sidelined for a few games. That gives Turpin some short-term appeal in deeper leagues to see how the receiver usage shakes out.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Keandre Lambert-Smith is a healthy scratch for his team's Week 3 matchup with the Denver Broncos, per The Athletic's Daniel Popper. Lambert-Smith has not recorded an NFL catch and saw just one target across the Chargers' first two games of 2025. He's currently buried on the Chargers depth chart at wide receiver behind Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen, Quentin Johnston, Derius Davis, and fellow rookie Tre' Harris. Lambert-Smith should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in redraft leagues.
